Christmas in Michigan & NC

Christmas in Michigan was busy but it was great spending time with just the family. We decided before we went up to only spend time with the family and not see our friends this time. We were only up for a week and just felt like we needed to spend the time with family only. It was so nice to see them and just spend time with them only. Christmas Eve we were with my family at my sister's house. My dad, Joe and Shawn went out to lunch together and us girls stayed back with the kids and made cookie's with them and ornaments. After the guys got back we opened up gifts and then we had dinner. It was a great time with my family. When we left my sister's house we went over to the Wilson's family Christmas and got to see more family. It was a busy day but a great day spending with family.

Christmas Day was spent with the Smith family with opening up more gifts along with one Santa gift and stockings that he brings to Michigan all the rest of the gift are left in NC where we have Christmas when we get home. Our neighbor comes over and put all the gifts under our tree so when we get home it looks like Santa came to the house when we were gone. We got up in the morning open up gifts and just spent the day relaxing and eating. The girls got to play with all their new toys. We also got to see both Grandma Smith and Grandma Quaigg that day.

Monday we got up and got ready to go get my mom and go back over my sister's house where we got to visit with my cousin Debbie, Jess and Nancy and the girls got more gifts. It was great to see them since I can not tell you the last time I have seem them it was a great visit. After that we left and went back to my parents house and had dinner with them since that would be the last day that we saw them. I so hate how fast the time goes when we are up there.

Tuesday we got up and got ready to go to the Wilson's house for Christmas with them. (This is Shawn's dad and his step mom Kathy) The girls yet again got more gifts to open that day. Yes my girls are every luck to have a big family that love them a lot. The girls got to play with all their new toys and then we had dinner with them and spent the rest of the day hanging out with them.

Wednesday was a day to get the car packed because we were leaving Thursday morning for NC. I have to say that this was one of the best Christmas of all since we have moved it was spent with all of our family who we love and miss a lot.

Thursday morning we got up and came home where the girls had one more Christmas.
